Ref: https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/debian/ (and others)
The section "included in distribution" starts by saying postgres is in the
debian distribution, and then goes on to say that *our* repository contains
a bunch of other things, and then lists some of them. It's also weird that
we list "pg repo", "deb repo", "repo contents", "backports repo".
The same is true for the RedHat download pages (but not suse, because they
lack the basic information)
I think this is a result of many rounds of incremental updates -- or does
somebody actually think this makes sense?
To fix it I think we should create a subsection for "available packages".
For RedHat, should we also even bother with the "post installation"
section, now that it's fully included in the instructions if you use the
dropdowns at the top? It's not really our job to document what RedHat does
-- that's in the RedHat docs, no?
And finally, since we now have our own SuSE repos, shouldn't the SuSE
download instructions also get the kind of functionality that the redhat
ones have?
